Our planning application to repurpose the iconic Brabazon Hangars into a 17,080-capacity arena complex has been approved by Bristol City Council, South Gloucestershire Council and the Secretary of State.
To follow our journey as plans take off, follow @ytlarenabristol on social media for the latest news.
The birthplace of the Brabazon aircraft and supersonic Concorde will be repurposed into YTL Arena Complex, an exciting 365-day-a-year entertainment destination.
The Brabazon Hangars offer three individual but interlinked areas: The Arena, The Hub and Festival Hall.
The Central Hangar will hold a 17,080 capacity arena, making it the third largest in the UK.
The unique, flexible bowl design will allow us host a variety of shows from live music, comedy, sport and family entertainment.
A bar stretching the width of the Central Hangar will host local bands on the community stage.
In the East Hangar sits Festival Hall, a 11,000sqm flat floor space for exhibitions, trade shows and conventions.
The West Hangar houses The Hub, a place to eat, work and play with pop-up shops, cafes, work space and leisure activities.
We have held a series of roadshows and drop in session to tell people about our plans and feedback has helped inform our proposals. We asked the following questions and here are the results.
Support the principle of a high quality mixed use development at the Brabazon hangars
Support the proposed vision for the Brabazon hangars
Support the principle of a new arena for Bristol
Support the proposals for a new railway station and MetroBus links to the proposal
